4TH OF JULY.
Anollier anniversary of this memorable day has
passed, and the minds of eighteen millions of free* !
men were on Thursday last filled with those pleasing j
emotions which the occasion naturally inspires. The !
fourth of July is a day dear to every American
heart, and its annual recurrence will lie eomniemora- |
ted as long as liberty shall dwell in our land. It is
a day on which the and isyndant may proudly yet j
modesty tell of the noble deeds of his ancestor —on
which the orator may recount the exploits and aeh
ievements of the soldiers and sngci of the Revolution
-—holding their example up for the imitation of his
admiring countrymen ; and it is a day we should con
secrate to the remembrance of the perils which were
encountered, the saciificcs which were made, by our
fore-fathers, to secure to us liberty and independence,
and of the obligations we are under to transmit the
precious inheritance, unimpaired, to our posterity, j
In itself, the 4th of July is no more than any other
day—but associated as it is, in the mind of every
American, with one of the most gloiious and momen
tous events recorded in our history, it is set apart, in
the patriotic mind, as a day interesting above all
others. On that day, a band of men, small in num
ber, but powerful in weight of character, energy and
fearlessness of mind, and devotion to liberty, dared
to proclaim to the world that they were free ! They
had often assembled together under circumstances
than which nono could be more ti ying to human firm- j
ness—each had pondered over his country’s wrongs, j
and each had sighed for redress. Rut there is a
point in human courage—and when the proposition
of Independence, absolute and unqualified, was made
by him who said “ Girr m* Liberty , or give mr death”
—some shrunk back dismayed —all were not prepar
ed to take the bold, irrevocable step. But the elo
quence of Henry, the irrefutable logic of Madison,
the sound reasoning of Ada.ns, L c and others, pre
vailed over the fears of the timid, gave Confidence to
the wavering, jmd a Republic was born /
We arc not deceived. age % will come, in whjclt
the American Revolution will appear less than it is,
one of tho great eat events in human history No age
will come, in which;it will cease to be seen and felt,
on either continent, that a mighty step, a great ad
vance, not only in America, but in human nlfairs,
was made on the 4th of July, 177(5. And no age, we
trust, will come, when it shrill cease to be com memo- j
rated—for it never can be forgotten, until virtue, pa
triotism, and liberty sleep in a tomb from which there
will be no resurrection.
The return of this glorious day awakens peculiar
amotions in the patriot’s breast. The days which tried
men’s souls flit across the imagination, and the prob
lematical scenes of the future rush upon the mind.
In despite of the scenes of festivity and joy, which
seem every where to prevail, an anxious solicitude j
steals over the soul ofthe devoted patriot. T’*e cou- j
templative mind involuntarily reverts to other days,
and toother nations that were once flourishing and !
happy, and the question forces itself upon the mind,
what shall be the fate of our own beloved and inde- j
pendent country ? Are her liberties p rennial ? Shall
this glad day be celebrated by future and unborn j
ages 1 Shull tlnMnion and freedom of our happy j
country, go down to posterity ns a beacon light, to
direct other nations to the temple of liberty; or shall
this light be put out forever !
If welook over the immense space of time which has ‘
rolled away since history began to record the deeds
of man, how gloomy kre the reflections the retros- !
pcct excites. Nations in all their variety of forms j
will be seen rising and tolling in rapid succession ; I
•at one period presenting particular region* of the j
earth in the enjoyment of all that could administer |
pride, and national vanity , in another, exhibiting j
a different aspect, when a few *hort years were suffi
cient to change the scene, and instead of the crowd
ed city, there was the desolate heath.
There was a time when the city of Tyre stood ,
the proud rival of the greatest mo narchies, her acts !
were the wonder ofthe world, and her power com
manded respect, even from her adversaries. To her
ports the navies ofthe most distant kingdoms came,
to procure those articles pride made necessary, but
which their ingenuity was unable’ to fabricate. She
commanded the nations ofthe earth—not indeed by
the force of arras, hut by themiidcr and more certain
agency of her skin. But if we turn to behold her now.
where is she ? T'ie rolling waves ofthe Mediterrian I
still wash her knrariently fertile shores.if* the mariner
still pursues his pith in search of w ealth; burtn vain
does he look for that renowned spot, which the histo- j
nan has reowded, and the poet sung. On one side
lie beholds the arid sands of Africa extending from !
the tumaltuous Atlantic, to the more peaceful waters !
ofthe Red Sea.—On this shore, where so many cel- ‘
ebrated cities once stood, and arts, science, and law ‘
flourished, nothing now appears other than a few
wretched inhabitants, and the sand dashed by the
unquiet wave! It was here the noble eity of Car
thage reared her aspiring head, and nurtured in her j
bosom, the warrior who so long shook the Roman j
Empire. She sent forth her armies to meet the op
ptessors ofthe world ; —but where now is Carthage
■or in what part of the great mass of the earth is she,
to be found 7 The philosopher will direct you to a
heap jfdust, around which, a few miserable inhabi
tants hare erected their temporary dwellings. He
will tell you these are the mouldering remains of the
great city; here has terminated the fame of Hanni- ‘
bal. and the glory of Carthage—the busy pursuits of
her citizens, and the wisdom of her rulers, hare not
been sufficient to avert from her the common destiny
of nature.
Amid captivating assemblage of attractions there
is presented an isolated, and obscure rock, which is
all that now remains of the famous Tyre. Anew
orderof feelings is brought into action, and we are
insensibly carried back to the days of classic song;
fancy connects the present with the past, and alarms
the soul with a dread of wbat hereafter may be pro
duced by the revolutions of time. Whereonce these
celebrated emporiums astonished mankind, and the
ample fleets unloaded their rich merchandize, noth
ing now is heard save the watchful sea bird, as she
cares for her callow brood. No magic incantation
can awake the dead, no mystic ceremony can illum
ine the sepulchral darkness which rests upon the
scenes of other days.
With enthusiasm which education has promoted
and excited, the scholar will direct to imperial Rome,
for the evidence of the immortality of genius,—and
for an example of what human sagacity cun acoom
! pliah. We can scarcely tolerate the undeniable fact,
that the Roman nation with its long catalogue of po
ets, historians, orators, ami statesman, was felled be
fore the ruthless ravages of time. Willingly would
! wo claim an exemption from the general lot of man
kind, for a people to whom the world is so much
j indebted. An instinctive horror covers the mind,
when we are compelled to ad vert to the destruction of
I those mighty governments, whose institutions have
given vigor to succeeding times.
But there was a nation, which deservedly ranked
among the first, if not the very chief, to which even at
this distant period, we must acknowledge our obli
gations.— Her power was extended not so nuch over
j the bodies, ns the minds of men; and hence her influ
| cnee was of a milder, though more lasting nature.
The triu phs of the Roman arms arc lost, in the
■ superior splendour of the Grecian art*;—in all that
could ennoble human nature, or promote the intel
lectual happiness of nv*n, Greece, was pre-eminent.
Her history discovers instances of heroic virtue, to
j which the annals of no nation can produce n parallel.
The nurse of letters, mother of poetry, the region
I which gave birth to Socrates, and a Plato, could
| have been no common country. W ait, however,
arms could not defend, arts and refinement* were
incompetent to support. Greece fell before the colos
sal power of Rom**, and while she groaned under the
fetters of political authority, gave the laws of phil
osophy to her conquerors.
A question of deep interest arises out of this rev
iew, and demands investigation from its connection
with our own immediate prosperity. What was the
I real cause of the dissolution of those great empires,
which fllv now only known by the decaying wreck of
j grandeur, every where apparent in Europe and Asia?
They had military prowess, experienced generals, a
ute philosophers, and eloquent orators, yet they have
vanished away. The same late which befel them,
may sooner or later overtake the proud republic of
which we arc members. To avert it nothing will
avail, other than the dissemination of moral and intel
lectual light; without this every thing else will be
worse than useless.
The nations of antiquity fell in consequence of their
want of what may be called general education, for
| while the philospher argued in the lyccum, or debated
I in the academic bowers, the great body of the people
| remained in ignorance. They were indeed taught a
knowledge of those gymnastic arts, which tend to
fortify the body, and augment its strength, hut they
were permitted to grope, in darkness, as related to
their true and lasting interest in the public govern
ment.
The condition of the world generally, at the, pres
ent period, exhibits a similar scene of melancholy
degmdution on the one side, and proud exaltation
on the other. The grand defeat in the institutions of
every government on earth, is the want of an efficient
mode of imparting instruction to the minds of those,
who the most require the aid of knowledge to assist
them iu the discharge of their ditties.
Dear was the price your Liberty cost—precious
the lives that were sacrificed. Ye are resolved never,
never to suffer yourselves to be robbed of such an
| invaluable inheritance, nor quietly to submit to any
infringement of the rights and privileges which it
confers. No! sooner will ye perish—sooner will
yonder plane be strewed with your bones—sooner
slurt! the tented buttle ground be stained with your
blood, as with the blood of your fathers! for what
is life without liberty to him, whose bosom glows
w ith the patriotic fire 0f.’76, and who scorns to be a
slave 1 *
Be it your care then, to repel every encroachment
upon your sacred rights and privileges to see that the
equal rights of conscience—the freedom of religious
opinion—the provisions‘and the spirit of the con
eonstitutions of the political government of your
country', are never trampled in the dust. Remem
ber that eternal vigilance, is the price of Liberty !

Why is Mclntosh so lukc warm upon the

FOURTH OF JULY !

CELEBRATION OF TEE FOURTH
The Six t^- Third anniversary of our national in
dependence was celebrated by the cili/.cnsof Darien,
in a most laudable manner. At 10 o’clock the citi
zens repaired to the Presbyterian Church, where an
eloquent discourse was deliver and before the Tem
perance Society of Mclntosh County, by Mr. Hay
wood. The address reflects honor on the head and
heart of i s author. At I*2 M the eiii/. ns generally
met at the Mansion House, and formed a procession
and proceed and again to the Presbyterian Church,
1 where the. D duration of Independence was read, in
a correct and impressive manner, by D- . E. Tl. Bono,
and an excellent oration delivered by Col 0!. 11.
Hopkins. It was listened to with profound atten
tion by a very large, respectable, and intelligent au
dience, and occupied about 35 minuses in the delivery.
We. will not attempt to give even the substance, (so
far as recollection would serve us,) of the oration,
! lest we might do injustice to th effort. The choice
of topics embraced were very judicious, and ns a lit
erary production it has undoubtedly great merit.
We have no hesitation is saying that it would gra
tify those who heard it, and the public iu general, to
see it in ptint. We hope Col. Hopkins will yield
to the solicitations of his friends and permit it to ap
pear in our next.
After the oration, n large party of gentlemen re
paired to the Mansion House, where an elegant and
plentiful repast was prepared by the worthy proprie
tor. H. S. Hell, was appointed President, and Maj. j
O. 11. Pelot, Vice President. The cloth being re-|
moved, the following sentiments were drunk, inter
spcrsrd with appropriate songs, and the firing of
cannon.

Brunswick, Juj.v (5.
“The Fourth.” —The sixty-third Anni
versary of American Independence, was
celebrated by the citizens of Brunswick and
vicinity in a manner worthy the occasion.
At 10 o’clock tlie citizens assembled at the
Court House, where the Declaration of In
dependence was read, and an interesting
and animated Oration delivered by Dunbar
! Morel, Esq.
After the services at the Court House
! were - over, a boat race came off between
; Col. Dubignon’s “Goddess of Liberty,”
! and anew boat belonging to Mr. Paul De
! mere, of St. Simons. The distance run
| was half a mile, the Goddess coming out
S about three lengths ahead.
At 3 o’clock a large party sat down to a
! most sumptuous dinner, prepared by Mr.
; Hall of the “Oglethorpe.”
Nf.w-York, June 27.
Almost every man of business awaits the ar

Sr. Josephs, Ji’M-.22.—Remarkable Escape.
—On th- passage ofthe Ship Alinvandcr, from
New-Orlcnns to New-York, a young Ind about
fourteen years, from a naturally frollicksome
and mischievous disposition, became so j
troublesome in his pranks, that it was threaten
ed by the nipt, if they wore continued, that ho I
would confine him inawntorcask. Ouryoung
i slor took no h. ed however, and at his next of
fence was put ill the cask, whidi was headed
I up, leaving a large bung hole for the admission
lof air. That night the ship encountered a vio- !
; lent storm and in a sudden lurch the cask con- ‘
. tabling the hoy rolled over into the sea. The
circumstance was not noticed by those on
board.—Fortunately, the cask struck bung
up, and floated about thirty hours, when it was
throw upon the beach at (’ape St. Bias. Here |
the boy made desperate efforts to extract him
self from his prison without success and in
despair gave up to die. Some cows however
strolling on the Bear'll, were attracted to the I
cask,and in walking around it, one ofthe mini- !
her, it bring fly time, switched her tail into the I
bung hole, which the lad grasped with a des
perate resolution. The cow bellowed and set
off for life, and after running some two hundred
yards with the cask, struck it against a log on j
the beach, knocked it as we say, into a cock’d I
hat. _ The boy thus providentially released,
was discovered by some fishermen on the
l’oint and taken into Apalachicola, where a
small collection being made for him, he was
enable to preceded North by the way of Col

f ™ lt ‘ a cpo'vany of five gentlemen
(Sfi,o6o each,) for the establishment of a cot
ton factory, on one of the ino#i eligible situa
tions in the Southern States, for health and
convenience, in the County of Mclntosh
(Georgia,) distance from Darieu four miles,
on a bold salt Creek, landing direct from the
sound of Doboy bar, with a wide nnd open
view of the son; forming a crescent. Said
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lan
ding (where the location of said factory shall
be made,) of at least 14 feet water;—in the
rear also of which is an excellent body of pine
timber hirnisliing the necessary fuel for asteam
Engine.
In the vicinity are several saw mills, front
winch can be got all the necessary materials,
m the progress of the buildings.—The site
also being land locked, offers a safo deposit for
lumber. The advantages of such an establish
ment in the neighborhood is obvious. The lo-
cation being a perfectly healthy summer re
treat ;-the vicinity immediate to Darieu, where
the choice and selection of cotton can be made,
jurat Macon—with the advantages beside to
iicigboring planters in giving employment to
j young female servants who can be profitably
employed in preparing the raw material, and
yam for market. Investments of this nature,
have uniformly resulted profitably and safe in
the upper part of this State. The estublish-
I mi nt in view will be the only one known on the
whole southern sea board. The sum of $11,600
being taken up, any number of gentlemen wish
ing to embark here will signify the same, to Mr.
Isaac Snow, of Darien, (P. M.) with their
views on the subject.
It is presumed that 20 per cent on the stock
will be all that will be called for to commence
operations with, to say on the first of January
next.
